2x2growingstarted grow question 4 years ago
I’m getting pretty close to harvest and I’m wondering if you have any tips for drying and curing cannabis?
I plan on using my tent for the drying period. Thanks guys.

I personally prefer only wet trimming big fan leaves, dry for 12-14 days, dry trim the rest and then curing in mason jars in various sizes leaving about 1/4 empty.
While curing I keep the jars in a dark cool place to prevent light degradation and I open the jars for 10 minutes every day while giving it a few gentle shakes, essentially "burping" it.
I personally find it unreasonable to use specific humidity bags in the curing jars because as long as it is kept indoors inside a drawer/cabinet/or whatever the right curing climate is achieved (18-22C, 50-65% humidity).
This has brought me top-shelf buds from make-shift micro grows to full grow tents and is from my own experience of course, this only a recommendation!
Hope it helps! Good luck and happy harvesting :)

Dont water the plant a few days before you plan to take her down so her water content is minimised. Cut the excess leaves and stems if you want a quicker dry. Do not point fans at the drying buds, indirect airflow only. Other people gave good advice as well!

Morning Mate,
Most important things in my opinion!
Keep Temps @ 20°C, a RH of around 50% and a mild airflow. After 7-10 days you'll get nocely dried buds.
I made my Box out of trash. Have a look at the last week of my lowryder diary. There r some good pics of the Box.
Hope this will help a bit, Servus✌️

Dark moving air about 70 degrees, 60 percent humidity. Hang upside down. Simple way to cure is glass canning jars. Burp few times a day first week. Once a day second week and about once every other third. Then like 1 or twice a week 4th on. Good luck and enjoy. Looks tasty.🌲🌲🌲👊

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Right harvest time - Trichome color expierencesCan you please share your experiences regarding the right time for 48h darkness + harvest?
WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect
Expectation:Harvest time should support the ratio type of strainWeek 8

Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Timing a 7d flush — will it over-ripen if I begin flushing when it's ready for harvest and keep it for 1 more week on flush juice?Need advice on timing a 7d flush. My 2nd grow, both (Sativas) flowered signif. longer than advertised (+2-4 weeks).
To know when to start flushing, do you visually estimate when a plant is no more t 1wk from harvest? If I start flush when it's ripe for harv, too late or ok?5 days ago

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?
